SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 385,351, dated July 3,18188.

Application filed February l0, 1888. Serial No. 263,647. (No model.)

To @ZZ whom, it 11mg/ concern:

Be it known that I, THOMAS H. HANLIN, a citizen of the United States,residing at Pittsburg, in the county of Allegheny and State ofPennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements inSectional Rotary Churn-Dasbers, and I do hereby declare the following tobe a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as willenable others skilled in the art to which it pertains to make and usethe same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings,which form apart of this specification.

My invention relates to rotary dashers in upright churns, tubs, orboxes, the object being to provide churns which are made in the ordinaryupright form with a sectional extension rot-ary dasher, each alternatesection of which is made to revolve in opposite direc-- tions by theresistance ofthe fluid when the staffis raised or lowered in the processof churning.

rIhis invention consists in placing upon a staff two or more sections ofa dasher,each section of which is made of two pieces of wood or othersuitable material mortised together in i the form ofa cross with beveledor deflecting arms or blades, and a ilanged metal thimble passingthrough the center of each and slightly projecting,` at each end for thepurpose of giving each section of the dasher a smooth metal bearing atbottom and top, while the angle or inclination of the blades of eachsection of the dasher,being set in opposite directions,causes thealternate sections, when the staff is raised or lowered, to revolve inopposite directions at the same time by the resistance offered by `theiiuid in the churn.

flasher, g, staff; f, sleeve or sheath on the end" ofthe staff with acylindrical or tubular neck d, extension-shaft upon which the sectionsof the dasher revolve; g', bolt passing through sheath and staff,securing the dasher to the staff; a, nut holding bolt in position.

I use a dasher constructed in sections, eachsection of which is made oftwo pieces of wood or other suitable substance mortised together in theform of a cross, with arms or blades a a beveled or inclined in such amanner that in coming in contact with theuidin the process of churningthe resistance offered by the same will cause each section of the dasherto revolve in a direction corresponding to the direction of the angle ofthe blades. The number of sections to be used at one time (not less thantwo) being governed by the quantity of milk in the churn, I place onesection of the dasher above the other upon the extensionshaft d, whichhas a rim or collar, e, on the lower end to prevent the sections fromdropping off, and bolt-holes at proper distances to receive any desirednumber ot' sections of the dasher, and also corresponding to theboltholes in the neck of the sheathf, into the neck of which theextension-shaft d, upon which the sections of dasher revolve, isinserted and secured by the bolt g and nut n., when the staffg isoperated, allowing the dasher to be readily detached from or connectedwith the staff g.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secureby Letters Patent, 1s-

1. The combination ofa sleeve fixed to a staff or handle and having asocket in its lower end, a spindle adjustable longitudinally in thesocket and having means for holding it in position therein, and themetallic sleeves b, ttted loosely on the lower end of the spindle andprovided with the annular iianges, which are inserted in the bladesofthe dashers, substantially as and for the purpose described.

'2. The combination of a sleeve having open sockets in its oppositeends, astaff Iixedin the upper socket of the sleeve, a spindleadjustable longitudinally in the lower socket of the sleeve and having aflange, e, at its lower eX- tremity, a bolt for securing the spindle tothe sleeve, the dashers, and the` sleeves iitted loosely on the spindleand provided with the annular rims, which are .fixed to the blades ofthe dashers, substantially as and for the purpose described.

In testimony that I claim the Vforegoing I hereunto affix my signaturethis 27th day'of January, A. D. 1888.
